The New Bomb Turks - I'm Weak. Get Hip Records 7". GH-139.

The New Bomb Turks were a heavy, heavy Columbus, Ohio punk band who released their first two LPs on Crypt Records. Following this they moved on to Epitaph. They're still going in some form, but activity has been limited over the past few years. Last year, singer Eric Davidson had the book We Never Learn: The Gunk Punk Undergut, 1988-2001 published. A well-intentioned, well-written chronicle of the period, the book is worth reading despite the pointless attempt to rebrand various lo-fi, punk and DIY scenes as 'Gunk Punk'.

Call Me Kenneth.

I'm a sexy guy who is not afraid to dance. The intention of this blog is to provide MP3 access to mainly unavailable audio material recorded directly from well-played and well-loved (in the most part) vinyl, alongside scans of the covers and all available inserts. You know. How it was meant to be heard. Not all farted about with years later by Those Who Fear The Holy Crackle. When I run out of records I delete the blog. The recordings are all made from records I bought myself. No profit is made from this blog.
